Grace Cathedral

Grace Cathedral is probably the most beautiful church I have ever been too, with amazing architecture and the beautiful Gothic design. To the side of the cathedral, there is a large open courtyard, displaying a nice water fountain with the same medieval architecture. In addition, the view of the city is very nice from the top of the hill, and parking is not too hard to find.

We happened to walk in 10 minutes before the Behind the Scenes tour was about to start and was talked into doing it. That $35 was the best money for 90 minutes I spent all day -maybe all month! The tour was so much fun and our docent, Joe, was wonderful! I learned so much and saw the church from perspectives and levels that I would never even known were there. For someone who’s lived in SF Bay Area my entire life, I was so surprised by this activity. This is definitely something I will bring and recommend visitors to do as a part of sightseeing SF!

This was my first time at Grace Cathedral and it was beautiful. Definitely smaller than Notre Dame in Paris. The Aura light show was great! I highly recommend seating far back as to prevent neck strain from looking directly up.

Absolutely breathtaking experience! I attended The Aura event at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, and it was truly incredible. The entire experience lasted about 45 minutes, and every moment was mesmerizing. The combination of lights, music, and the sacred atmosphere of the cathedral created something unforgettable. The visuals were stunning—both peaceful and powerful—and the acoustics inside the cathedral made the sound feel immersive and almost otherworldly. It’s clear a lot of thought and creativity went into the production. It was definitely worth the price of admission. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a unique, inspiring, and meditative experience in the city. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, The Aura is something you won’t want to miss.

I visited Grace Cathedral for an evening event after dark. The staff greeted me with warm smiles and were helpful and enthusiastic about their roles. The cathedral is awe-inspiring, and I want to return during the daytime to further enjoy the experience. The event added to the visual delight, as the building is breathtaking on its own, and the light show truly brought it to life. My favorite scenes were the garden and cloud displays, but each one captivated my attention throughout the entire hour.
